Tucked beneath a canopy of mature oaks on one of Barton Hills’ most desirable streets, this beautifully updated home blends classic design with modern style. Thoughtfully remodeled throughout, the single-story layout offers four bedrooms and two baths, centered around open, light-filled living spaces that open to the backyard.

The kitchen features custom cabinetry, high-end appliances, and seamless flow into the dining and living areas—perfect for entertaining or everyday comfort. A large mud room sits off the garage and kitchen and serves as a laundry room and prep kitchen, with plenty of storage. A standout feature for the wine enthusiasts, is the custom, climate-controlled wine room, designed to hold 15 cases and display 5 magnums, to showcase your collection in style. The spacious primary suite has an ensuite bathroom and 2 walk-in closets. The secondary bedrooms are large and share a hall bathroom.

Outside, the backyard feels like a retreat. It’s private and inviting, with a modern pool, mature trees, and multiple lounge areas for relaxing or dining outdoors. A large deck off the main living space overlooks the pool and yard, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor connection.

Zoned to award winning Barton Hills Elementary School. Located just minutes from Zilker Park, Barton Springs, and South Lamar’s best dining and shopping, this property captures the essence of Barton Hills living—where design, comfort, and convenience meet beneath the trees.

Barton Hills is South Austin's Greenbelt neighborhood in 78704, where the Gus Fruh trailhead sits on a residential street and Barton Springs Pool is a five-minute bike ride. Median home price $1.49M. Austin ISD schools, 10 minutes to downtown, direct access to the Barton Creek Greenbelt and Zilker Park.

The housing stock is mostly 1950s-70s ranch homes on generous lots (8,000-12,000 sq ft) with mature live oak and pecan canopy. The terrain is hilly and the streets wind without sidewalks — everyone walks in the road and waves. Some original homes have been updated; others are teardown candidates for new builds. Active listings typically number 5-10 at any given time.

South Lamar corridor runs along the eastern edge — Uchi, Odd Duck, Loro, Matt's El Rancho, and the Alamo Drafthouse at Lamar Union are all within a mile. Zilker Park (351 acres) is the front yard. The Barton Hills Neighborhood Association actively protects the environmental features that make this location work — the springs, the Greenbelt, and the creek.

What defines Barton Hills: trail access from your front door, spring-fed swimming, James Beard Award-winning food a mile away, and a 10-minute downtown commute. The tradeoff is hilly terrain, no HOA-maintained common areas, and older housing stock that may need significant updating.
